Oakleigh is set to welcome a vibrant new art trail that will bring together existing public art and creative wayfinding with new projections, lightboxes, murals and a major landmark artwork.

The trail is a significant public art and placemaking initiative that celebrates Oakleigh's multicultural business precinct and rich Greek heritage.

By drawing visitors to its streets, laneways, cafés, restaurants and shops, the trail looks to strengthen Oakleigh's reputation as a unique visitor destination for cultural and creative experiences.

Call for artists

Artists are invited to submit an expression of interest (EOI) to create a mural or wall activation with a minimum life span of 5 years.

The project is expected to open in 2027 and is funded by the Victorian Government's Multicultural Business Precinct Revitalisation Program and Monash Council.
